New Quake III Screens

New screen shots from Activision, publisher of id Software's Quake III: Arena, show off some of the cool new deathmatch characters that will show up in the game.

The first shot in this bunch shows a couple of characters duking it out in a tentacle-filled hallway, with light effects and explosions illuminating the corridors.

The next shot shows the Doom Marine firing a purple-energy filled weapon down an illuminated hallway. Yes, that's right, our favorite character from all of the first-person shooters makes a triumphant return as one of the characters you can choose to play in deathmatch mode.

And finally, the third shot demonstrates a female marine wasting a Quake Guy with a head shot, even though he's wrapped up tight in the warm, glowing electricity of a triple damage power-up.
